>any M went to Paterson on Monday, tbatwing tbe day set for tbo muster out find finaltaying off of tbo regiment. The PaBroic, Pat-rsou and Dover companies were ou baudong before noon, which was the hour bet in

the ordere, and the armory and vicinity pre-sented a lively appearance. The companiesfrom Orange and MontcJair, as well as thoserom Hackensack, Euglewood and Ijeonia,

in on a special train. Most of tbe menookotl woll and strong, having fully recov-ired from the effects of fever in Jackaon-'dle, but some still looked wan and hollow-yed, while othera appeared with crutches orI'itU canee.

As the paymaster had Dot yet arrived themn amused themselves with pranks and'icks of various kinds. Fights and quarrelsrere frequent among thosb TVUO had imbibedlittle too freely, hut ou the whole the men

• ere very good-natured, although muchrumbling was heard over the long delayinally it was announced tbat nothing would

lie done before uoon and that those whowished to do HO could go out and get someliing to eat (if they bad the mouey). On re-urniug it was found that tbe paymasters hadlot yet arrived and that there must be moreirtious waiting. About half-past three o'clockild cheering at the entrance of the armory

.nnounced the arrival of the paymasters.Even after the arrival of these most welcomepersonages, however, there was still a couplenoura* delay and then Adjutant Hilton ap-peared on the balcony and announced to themen that the delay of thp first few hourshad been saused by the non-arrival of tin1

sayraasters and tbat of the lost few hours <uiccount of the non-arrival of the money.?he Adjutant then said that the money would

probably arrive about six o'clock by theWells, Fargo express, and that all those wholived in Paterson would have ample time to;o home and get their supper, as the com-mnies wbich had the farthest to go to Retlome would be tho first paid off.' aud dis-charged, H and F were the fortunate com-panies, for they were first. The paymastersoccupied two rooms and cue company was

in one and the other In the other. Be-!ore eight o'clock Company M bad been paid)ff and the members bad a little roll whichentitled them to be again called citizens.Captain Petty then directed his men to be atthe railroad station in time to get the 10:15train for Dover, The men received on anaverage about 100 and it took about $110,000to pay off the regiment. The money arrivedin an iron trunk and its arrival wassignal for the wildest of cheering.

Lieutenant F. R. Stokes, who had managed:ho regimental canteen at Jacksonville, wason hand with a big hunch of I, O. U. slipswhich he WFB trying to collect. Anotherperson whn }>*d account? against men was aMrs. Cole, of Jacksonville, who had conducteda sutler's stand outside the Second New Jer-sey encampment and who had come North tosee if she could not collect various amounts,footing up $000, that the men owed heror meals for which she had given them creditm the strength of their promises that theyvould pay her when they received their Sep-

tember pay. Before pay day came the regi-ment was moved and tho poor woman had togo without her money. There were otherswho bad to do tbe same but she was the onlyone who had tho energy to come Korth andtry to collect. The amounts owed ran fromone dollar to fourteen dollars aud as thegovernment does not recognize any claimagainst soldiers it was a matter of honorwith the men. Many paid up but others didnot. Company M started a game whichamused the regiment for several hours. Itwas "rushing" those of their comrades whohad the audacity to appear in white collars.Every collar was torn off, and other compa-nies seeing the fun took the bint and startedin on their own members. Finally a crowdof about 200 gathered and went all aroundtbo armory looking for unfortunate wearersof linon. When ouo was found he wasiu-vited to remove his collar. If he did so howas wise for it he refused it was taken off bythe Belf-appolnted committee and the processwas by no means gentle. A member oE Compauy B was foolish enough to resist and attempted to " bluff " his tormentors by drawing a knife. The result was that both collarand knife were taken from him. He tlieiwent to report the matter to his company of-ficers and the crowd followed acros* tho armory jeering and hissing at him. His oflicei-s,of course, had uo sympathy for him andwould do nothing. After the collars bad alldisappeared other amuseraeuts, even footballwas indulged in. Some who hud " jugswent about looking for trouble aud usuallythey found it. Others, more quiet, gathersin groups and •* swapped " stories of their ex-periences " during the war."

Company M arrived home at 10:50 p. m,tired but happy for each carried two rolls,oue a roll of the "long green," and the otliehis discharge. Tbe last of the companieswere paid off about midnight and the SecondNow Jersey Volunteer Infantry was a thingof the past.

Some of the stck who were not able to goto Patersou to sign the pay rolls and muster-out rolls will report • as soon as able at thonearest army post where they will be paidand discharged.

An Award Annulled.Vice-Chancellor Reed on Monday filed aa

opinion dismissing a suit to enforce an awardof'arbitrators brought by Andrew Fagan, ofMorris county, against the Whippany RiverRailroad Company and ordering a decree inaccordance with a cross-bill filed by the de-fendants to annul th& award. The railroadcompany was using farm land belonging toFagan, and three arbitrators, to whom an ad-justment of their difficulties was referred,

Ixed the value of the land at $2,000. Vice-Chaucellor Reed holds that this valuation isexcessive, the property not being worth over$150, while the damages were only nominal.Partiality or corruption in the award was setup. On this point tbe Court Bays that Faganapproached two of the arbitrators, from oneof whom he received repeated visits at hishome when the case was discussed. To the•thor he sent a basket of pears as a present.

The Vice-Cbancellororguesthatalthough thegift was not of much ralue, yet when fol-lowed by an award like this it possesses sig-nificance. The mind of the arbitrator waslikely to be warped in favor of the man whohad tlius given evidence of his friendly re-gard. It looked as if Fagan was, tryingp roduce a partial frame of mind in the A'trator toward himself.

However, his dereliction h-fl moretime for tlie main feature (if the f vunhiK, tldebat", and with Hupi'ivi^int; PHiiiipiHulsart in the chair, Clarcm-o Ilumv up"iitithe oratorical conte.st with an argument, fortheailirmative, namely, thut th« nt'iuisilof foreign territory would bo detrimental totho best interests of the United HUten.

Hy way of preface, Mr. Hume said that liftBide would prove thnt from a eomniereiul, nsocial and a military standpoint tho aiipiisltioiiofauch territory would lie detrimentalKucakiug from tho military standpoint, Inargued that as tho United .States arc now, weare separated from tlio ipmiTt>1rt and inilitiiryintrigues of European nations; thatif foreij itt-rritory was acquired u largo urmy w«nil<bo necessary, whereas now it was not anilthat high taxes will have to bo luvii'd iiorder to support the army.

Tho oldorly man loved tho llttlo, un-thinking Blip of n girl, oh, so dooplyl linthonor forbado his trying to gain liur al-foction, and no in tlinu Hho married tin1,boyish luvur.

Women havo hardly butter memoriesthan imin, hut men being made of inororugged material woundH do not loavu Boarseo tlcup, and thon you know that lovo iswoman's whole existence.

Li terary Notes.Copt. Sigeboo spoils a good story, but re-

places it with another equally good, in deny-ing, fls ho will in the December Century,that his orderly entered tbe cabla of the" Maine" im mediately after tha explosion,made a formal salute, and reported tbe de-struction of the ship. Had bo done so, bewould not have been Been, for the explosionextinguished all lights, and left tbe cabin asblack us a pocket. As a mutter of fact, tbeorderly ran into his commanding oflleer in adark passage leading forward through thesuperstructure, ami reported that tho shiphad been blown up and was sinking. Capt.Sigsbee's story of tbe destruction of the shipwill lose nothing, it ia understood, from tbesimplicity of his ntylo, the incidents being tooterrible to need reinforcement from rhetoric.

Biliousness, dyspepsia, loss of appetite,disturbed sleep, nervousness, headache,giddiness and drowsiness, wind and painor fullness of the stomach after meals, coldchills and flushings of heat, shortness ofbreath—these are the bl-nk cheques ofphysical bankruptcy. Take them to aphysician and hu will fill them up with thename of some more or less serious disease.Kvery time that you carry one of them tohim you draw out some of your funds inthe Hank of Health. Keep it up, and therewill soon be no fmuls in the treasury.

The man who suffers from these dis-orders and neglects them will scion be inthe relentless grasp of some fatal disease.If ho Is naturally narrow chested nnd shal-low hinged, It will probably be consump-tionj If his father or mother died of par-alysis or some nervous trouble, it willprobably be nervous exhaustion or prostra-tion, or even hisiinily ; if there is a taint iuthe family blood, it will be blood or skindisease; if he lives iu n new or a low,swampy country, it will hv. imlnrin; if lu-lives a life of exposure, it may be rheu-matism. There is just one safe course forn mail to follow who finds himself out ofsorts nnd suffering from the symptomsdescribed. It in to resort to Dr. Fii'rec'sGolden Medical Discovery. Thin medicinemakes the appetite keen, corrects all dis-orders of the digestion, renders assimiia-tiim perfect, invigorates the liver, purifiesand enriches the blood and builds firm,healthy flesh and nerve tissue. It curesnhuuttl all diseases tbiit result from insuf-ficiciit^or improper nourishiiu-nl of thebrain and nerves. Bronchial, throat, andeven hinj* nfli/etioiis, whun not too fur ad-vanced, readily yield to it.

Examination by a male physician isa hard trial to a delicately orfuniw-dwoman.

Hhu puts it off as long as she dare.nnd is only driven to it l>y fear of con-cur, polypus, or fiurac dreadful ill.

Most frequently such a woman leavesa physician's oiliccwhere she bus un-dergone a criticalexamination •withnimprehttiori.murc-ir lebs, of discour-

Her intimate knowledge of women'stroubles makes hor letter of advice awellKprhitf of hope, and her wide expiri-euce and skill point the wuy to health.

SummH "Wants u Now Churtor.In the opinion of many of the more pro

grrsstve citizens of Summit that lowu bmabout outgrown its present form of government and we find tbe Summit Hnntd Insweek pointing Montclafrwards for a new umapproved pattern- Editor Clift, of thaipaper, had this to say:

Now that tbe oxcitoment of tlm election isover and everything in Summit has aguliassumed its normal condition, there is onquestion of vast Importance to the futurwelfare of this place, and which has been fre-quently referred to in tbe columns uf theHerald during tbe past two years, and tbatis tbe incorporation of Summit, In less tbautwo months the next Legislature will conveneand if Summit is to be incorporated applicution for a charter must be made to tbe Leglslature. There is no queBiion as to the neces-sity for adopting same form of governmentother than tue antiquated triangular Town-ship Committee, originally intended for rum"communities and farming districts. Tinaction to be taken within the next fuw week'1B to decide what form of government wiwantand then appoint a committee to druPa suitable bill and present it to the Legisla-ture.

The form of government which has tluiifar received tbe most favorable comment iithe "Town Act of 14)05," wbteli ban beeiadopted by Montclair and WestHoliokeuniirhas proved entirely natihfactory i here.

We publish below a letter from Editor A.C. Studer of the Montctair Times, which willexplain itself:J, \V. CLIFT, Efq.

Wedivided Into four wards, with two councilmenthree m^uibeni of tlin Bonrd of Education feach.

The ni'nntu i-re plenswi winexisting concUtloua and ft is a rust (uijirovemuuover the old Bystem. Yourn truly,

A. C. SlUDEIt.Montelalr, October 19, 1SD3.Montclair'a experience was somewhat llk<

that of Dover in that the act under whichMontclair was first incorporated as a townsome six or seven years ago, aud which wasknown as the "Short Act," was about t\\<years after its adoption declared uueonstitutional, when the "Voorhees Act," which wiupractically tho " Short Act" with its uncou-stitutional features eliminated, was hubiti-tuted for It.

There waa ihis difference, Lowever; wbonthe constitutionality of the "Short Actwas called into question there was no factiousopposition at any stage of the resultant liti-gation and upon its conclusion tho verdictwaa accepted without demur, the right-think-ing voters of tbat town holding that if tli" Short Act" was not constitutional nothingcould be BO important as tho legal establish-ment of that fact. HOIF important this vraswill be better understood when it is statedthat under its now charter Montolalr hassince completed a sewerage system Involvingthe expenditure of nearly, if not quite,1300,000, for which amount bouds had to boIssued. It goes without saying that with theconstitutionality of its charter an openquestion Montclair would never liuve beenable to place said hoods. Aud it was Coun-cilman who Onanced and carried to complo-,tion a $300,000 sewerage system of whomEditor Studer says, " they aro entitled to aHalary not to exceed $500 per annum, hutthey fix their salaries at $i so each. Compar-isons, It is said, are odious.

A feature of tbe Voorhees ant which maynot commend itself to the people of Dover 1Bthat the granting of excise licenses IH made ufunction of tbo Town Council instead of aBoard of Excise Commissioners, In conse-quence of which tho liquor question is a fac-tor fin tho election of Councilmen, In thoopinion of tho ERA, the appointment of Ex-cise Commissioners by tbo court, as in Mor-ristown, is the bettor way. By this methodthe license question is removed from the do-main of politics.

Rear-Admiral George Dowey will ho theranking Admiral in the navy upon the retire-ment of Admiral Bunco next month. It isunderstood that tho President will recom-mend to Congress tbo ro-creation of tho officeof Admiral or Vice-Admiral for the specialbenefit of Admiral Dowey, and there is notmuch doubt that Congress will enact the nec-essary legislation.

Upwards of tifty taxpayers appeared, some. pei*son and others by i»foxy, before the

Coinmissiouers of Appeal ou the occasion otthe annual meeting of that body on Tues-day to tell their griovancea and in a ma-jority of instances their tales fell on sym-pathetic ears.

The ilrst person to be heard was CityAttorney James H. Neighbour, whoappearedfor Mrs. Eliza C. Courtrigbt. He Btatedthat tho assessed valuation on a piece of realestate belonging to lira. Courtright was$3,250, which amount was disproportionatelylarge. He convinced the board of tbe just-ness of bis contention and the valuation wasplaced at *I ,600.

Next Mr. Neighbour and Surrogate DavidYoung made an appeal for a reduction ofthe assessed valuation ou the property of theDover Electric Light Company, which was$12,000 on the personal property and $3,000on the real estate of that company. Theycompared this with the respective valuationsput on the property of other corporations,notably the Dover Water Company, which i3

Bsed at $10,400. Assessor Tippett ex-plained that he had assessed the machinery,dynamos, etc., of that company as personalproperty, and ifc woe contended l>yMr. Neigh-bour that under the law the machinery, etc.,

<m to be assessed as real estate. The boardaccordingly reduced the personal propertyvaluation to $0,000. It was not in the powerof tbe board to increase tho real estate valua-tion.

Mr. Voung next asked that tho poll taxassessed egainst Superintendent Wight man,of tbe Dover Electric Light Company, be re-mitted, as be was not a resident of Dover ouMay 20. Granted.

He then uamedlive properties, three of which bad been as-sessed at $1,000 each, one at $1,000 and oneat $200, all of which he Baid were too high,and asked tho kindly consideration of theboard. The board gave his statement kindlyconsideration with tho result that the valua-tions were made $900, $1,700, $800, $1,900 {notreduced) and $100.

George Raynor told the board that his sonGeorge F , against whom a poll tax had beenassessed was not a resident of Dover. Incidentally ho stated that his son John H., whois a resident and of legal age, had not beenassessed a poll tax, whereupon the board re-mitted Georgo F.'s mid put it on John H.

Police Notes.When Fred. Voorhees, who works in the

car shops, imbibes too much bis obstrepBrous-ness knows no bounds. Lato on Mondaynight he was in a condition sometimes de-scribed as "half seas over," having attendeda chickeu raffle earlier iu the evening. Inthat condition ho mado himself HO obuuxlousIn the barroom of a hotel that ft was finallyintimated that his room was prefar&ble tohis company, and wben he didn't take tbehint he was ejected without ceremony. Bpe-olal Officer Byram was stun Jiog nfar whenVoorhees was hustled out but before he couldget to him Voorhees was in the barroomagain, having, broken the door from itsblugjNS In a moment, however, he emergedthrough the doorway again and Officer Byramcaught htm by the nape of the neck and toldhim to come with him. Then it was thatVoorhees'* obstreperousness began to assertitself, and Officer Byram was compelled tocall to his aid several bystanders. Togetherthey pulled and hauled aud finally after astruggle lasting fully half an hour Voorheeswas landed in a cell, where he spent the fagend of the night. Next morning he was haledbefore tue Recorder, who lectured him on theerror of his ways and tben, out of considera-tion lor his family, imposed the light fine of$5 and costs, which was paid.

Michael Pavling, who is said to be aPolander, and who lives and works at Rich-ard mine, came to Dover ou Monday to re-plenish his stock of groceries.' Shoppinggave him a tremendous thirst, to quencbwhich he imbibed rather too freely of acertain foamy beverage, with tbe result thatho ran afoul of Special Officer Byram, whotook him to the lockup for safekeeping. Re-corder Gage subsequently imposed a fine of$5 and costs,, which, amount tbe lucklessPolander paid and thereupon wended his wayin the direction of Richard Mine in a etate ofutter dejection, .„ _,

Francis Barclay, of iueoard Mine, came toDover on Monday to celebrate b/s 00th birth-day. He celebrated so Immoderately, how-ever, that he ultimately found himself lockedup, Special Officer Byram having; taken himto jail that he might sober up. Later on hetook hiB prisoner before Recorder Gage, who,In consequence ot Barclay's gentleness ofdemeanor, let him go with a reprimand only.

Iron Moultlera' Hull u Success.The second annual ball of the Iron Moulders1

Union, No. 208, ni this city, held on Wednes-day evening, was a grand affair liocially anda big tmccesg financially. The guests begauto arrive eltout nine o'olfiok and ware at ou«etaken iu charge and made to feel at home bytbo reception committee, composed of JosephSauder.s, Chairman; Jonoph McSoley, Tim-othy Gilligan, Ransford Perry, William Mc-Carthy, Patrick McCtoHky, William Sh(*i,William Delauey, Andrew Brawn, WalterKeith, James McFarland, James Keddy,John llalney and George Losee.

api>earance. Excellent music was furnishedby ProfeBfior Neil Rullivan'a Orchestrn, ofBrooklyn. At about 9:4& the grand inarchwas started, led by (1GUB" Raymond andMiss Emily McCarthy, who were immediatelyfollowed by Arthur Woods and Miss JennieSanders.

Private SMtos in. Trouble,When Private Alfred Stitos, ot Company

M, returned on Monday from Paterson.wherehe had gone witb the company to receive hiefinal discharge, lie was in the custody ofConstable Charles W. Blake, who, armedwith a warrant, had gone to Paterson tofetch him. The charge against Stites wasatrocious assault, preferred by an Italianflagman employed on the Delaware, Lacka-wanna & Western Railroad.

The flagman's story to Recorder Gage wasto the effect that Stites had stopped him ashe was walking down the west bound trackon Wednesday uf last week and at the pointof a revolver engaged bfm in an altercation,which resulted in the flagman's surrender ofa knife with which he had bedn whittlingthoondof his flagstlck. Now if this woa abit of horseplay on Stites' part, his fun wasill-timed, for tbe Italian had been Bent onahead of a drill engine to flag westboundtrains, the drill engine being on the weBtbound track on its way to the car shops.Stltes'e action was observed from the drilland another employee named Frank Galla-gher was sent down tbe track in a hurry todo what the Italian had been Bent to do. Thematter was reported to headquarters in Ho-bolten and Detective Hanson was sent toDover to investigate, and as a result of hisInquiry the charge of atrocious assault wasmade. Thus it came about that when Com-pany M got back to Dover Stites was marchedto the lockup, where he spent the night. OnTuesday morning Stites was brought beforeRecorder Gage, who read him a liomily onthe seriousness of his ottense, saying that Ifas a reault nf his interference with the flag-man in the porformnnce of his very import-ant duty au accident had occurred, he mighthave had to answer to a charge of homicide.He Baid also that the railroad company offi-cials ware not inclined to let the matter passlightly but woulil prefer a charge againsthim under a statute which imposes a severepenalty for interference with a railroad manin the performance of his duty. Then, as Stitessaid be would waive a hearing, ho put himunder $200 bail for his appearance before theJanuary term of court. Ball was furnishedand Stftes was discharged from custody.

"I never was In NDW Yorkbcforo," hoBald. " I hnvo coiuo from a littlo towii Intbo west to Boo if I cim learn a littlo moruand do a littlo moro perhaps in n. hlg townthan I onn In our littlo on».

You'd think I was pretty bigto go to school, wouldn't you? 13ut Ithink a man'H novor too old to go toBoiiool If there's anything to learn."

Ho lookod around to wn wlnit nfTcot hislittlo BIKWCII had had. MLHIID^ a look nfplonsant intureBt, ho plunged into dtH'purcot) fl dun ens. He tohl of tho liulu (ownand thu HtuKiuit^in of HH utmost lnHulur

and to burn, of thu Imndy ilrt'Hldn whorehifj mutliur und yuuny(-*r brntber wit—hisono regrot. It was nut n conversation, itwas a reuitftl. It eawo to an end just bo-foro wo reached our Klatlon.

"Tills is where I get oil," enld .lanet."I'm afraid I've been tolling you a lot

that doesn't interest you," said tho youngman, Ecarleb uf face ugain.

"It interestH ino very much," said Ju-iitjt with a Hincuro Binllo. " I believe intito fellowship or man. Ihopothat youmny find all thut you hopo for hero.Good by." Sho turned and nodded, smil-ing to him as wo left tho ear. Ho waslooking after us, hat in hand, Bouniinglyforgi'tful of his surroundings, as I glancedback from tho station platform.

I novor thought to seo tho fuco or thofigure iigaln. Tho encounter with them,though, cunio very naturally. I wont totho Lenox librnry to consult an authoritya row tlnys later, nnd thore was tho youngman of tho elevated railroad, looking attho niro manuscripts in their glnsfl oases,not understanding, I know, bnt Impressedby thu inscriptions which told of tbolr ago.Ho glanced up from one of them as I pass-ed, and a quick took of recognition comeInto his cycu. Somehow thu spirit of fel-lowshipof which .lanet lirul given inu suchft good example led mo to stop and Hpoakto tho youth. If I iiad encountered himnloiiu thu ilrst timo, even if wu had struckup a conversation an he and Janut huddonn, I should have passed him afterwardwith n nod at most, hut tho fact thut Ja-net hnil tnkon an- interest In his wolfaroand talked to mo about it ns we walkedtowurtl her home led mo to stop and snyn word to tho stranger. So I naked himhow ha was nnd huw ho wan potting on.

Ho was well, ho said, but hu had not goton vury far—In fact, ho had had nothingto do hut look at tho sights. Thero wasno work to bo hud and In ono aonso hewas still idle. But ho was on tho look-out, nnd whom a man wanted to workthoro was protty suro to bo work for himto do somewhero, ho thought. Tho un-conKuioiiH inllucnco of .lanet was on meoK'iiii whon I HiigKcsted that ho call atmy ollleo tho next day to dlBcuss tho kindof work ho wanted with a viuw to consid-ering whether I know of any positionwhieh hu could fill. Ho promised to come,and I went on my way.

I hud put him quito out of my thoughtsboforo ho canio tho next day—in met, Ihud to puzzlo over his fnco for a minutoboforo I could identify it, BO thoroughlywas my mind occupied with other mut-ters. Ho was awkward nbout approach-ing mo. I found that ho had waited al-most nu hour in thu outer ofllco beforo onoof tho busy clerks naked him his err findand learned that ho had an appointmentwith mo. I had to keep him there a littlolonger whilo I dinpoKod of Bomo pressingbusiness letters, and then I sent for him tocomo in. Ho Bftt on tho edpo of ono of thobig c.halrfl in whiuh my clients eit, Howas embarrassed, but not timid, nicrolyfolding tho Ktrnnffonoss ef Ills Rurround-ingfl. 1 nskud him what work iiu expect-ed to got. Anytliing lit all, ho roplicd.What work had lio done? Well, odd jobsaround homo and clerked in tho countryEtoro ono summer, But hu roally thoughtho was not n t for very much but plain la-bor, at least until ho had had a littlo moroexperience Ho did not phrase tho Idea inthat way, but that was what he meant tosay. It took him fioiuo tlmu to say It too.

" I hnvo found employment for yourprotogo of tho elovated road," I said to Jo-not tho next time I saw hor.

"Not LocliinvarP" said Janet, for so wehad christened him In our conversations.

"Yea, Lochlnvar,M I answered. "Onlyhis naino huppons to bo Jucob. Ho Is nowpulling a wiru ropo In the elurntor whichcarricfi mo to my ofllco every morning."

"And doing It with tho enthusiasmwhich marked his conversation?"

"With nn eagerness and an onorgywhich threaten tho Integrity of tho ropo uttimes."

" I know that he would," said Janot,whoso faith In human nnturo was some-thing beautiful. "Ho lookod nnd talkedns though lie would pull an elevator ropeor drive a market wagon or manage a bigbusiness with tho euino spirit. Whateverho undertakes he will do well. Murk myworda,"

"Mydoar Jnnot," I Bald, " I hnvo mnrk-od your words nbout BO many j)coplo—nbout tho (starving woman who turnedout to be a professionnl beggar with nbank account and rail estate, about thoman injured in a railroad nccldent whowas claiming sympathy ronlly for a brokonarm earned in tho doubtful profession ofburglary—that I nm inclined to 'snvo thomark' for your own snko,"

"Scofforl" said Janut. " I will novermoko you my missionary again. Yea, 1will ton. At least you havu dono some-thing ]>nioticnl for Ijoehlnvar, and I lmvono doubt ho needefl It. And ns hu hasdemonstrated his worthiness to even yourskeptical mind your virtue slmll bo re-warded with a ninrk of my highest favor.Meet mo tomorrow nt Tlffnny'B nnd helpme Bulect a wedding present for JunoDwlght, who 1H about to tako to hursolf ahusband.

I hud u bulletin to deliver in nbout twoweeks. Jiicuh (I did not know MM familynamo then) apoko to niu in t)io elevator

I ttiiKwururi rallusr abruptly with u sug-gestion, for my itiiiul WUM full of mi im-portant disc which I hud buen otudylngalmost all night. Hut, though tint mut-ter Hlippud fruin '">• I I l i l ld lminudiiiU'ly, itreturned when I saw Janet tho next duy.

"And what did you do?" she nukud. Itold her what I had tiujwstod

"And you didn't offer to In rid him nilyour books*" she mid "Whut a selfishmim you urol"

"I HupjioHo if ft woman told you shewanted to lunrn sewing you would lendher your machine."

"No; but I niiuuhl givo hor u card toonu of my charities, whuro they would letbur UHU OHO and show hur how. Ibii'tthoro a homo for indigent young men whodesiro to bucoma lawyers?"

''On tho contniry, it 1H our constant on-dwivor to discourage such young men, forthoy fill tho profusion with » crowd ofhalf finished attorneys who tnko feea fromUH, cut prices and hriiiH tho businoHB intodiareputo. Why, if tho profession con-tljiuca to ilnd recruits at tho presont ratoof cnllfituiDnt, we shall hnvo legal advicothrown in with overy dinner sot nt tho do-purtmunt slorcs."

"Wull, you must stibduo your profes-slouiil jcaloiiBj this timo," eald Janet,"nnd help young Ijochlnvar. Do It formy Kako."

I have taken orders from Jiinet for BOiiiany yeurs that it never occurs to mo toquestion hur Instructions. So I lent Jacobsomo books, and when I found thnt ho hodmustered their contents in n very shorttimo I offered him tho privilege of remain-ing in my olllco in the evening after theolovntor Htopjwd running and using mylibrary. He reveled In thnt privilege. 1was Bitting up at home very late ono nightpreparing a hriuf, nnd I found tout a mostImportant paper had boon loft in my desk.Thero wm no choice but to go down townand get it. ThP brief muRfc bo ready thenext morning, nnd thp paper waa lockedIn tho private drawer pf my desk whorp noono but mo could get It- It was nearly 19o'clock when tho janitor lot me Info thobuilding. I oliiiibfid tho ptalrs (» niy offlppfloor. Thero waa a light In tho puter pf-fico. "That's stupid of JohnBon," J enldto myeelf. " U P has loft tho gas burning."But, whun t opened tho door, thorq satJacob, poring over n calf bound volumeHo lookod embarrassed whon ho wtw mo.

"Am I in tho wayf" ho nBkod."You're not likely to got much sleep at

this rate," I repllod. "Do you stay up QBlato «s this very often?"

"Aluioat overy night," ho answored"Do you inlndf"

"Not a bit," Isnld, "if your health willstand it. But It is a pretty hard llfo, Ithink, for ono who has lived In tho openair BO much."

"Tho llfo in tho opon air stored up justtho sort of vitality I need for this sort ofthing," said Jacob.

"You aro striking an average, then?""Trying tuHtrlkoonobutwuen tho sound

mind and the sound body.""Don't take 11 to HO seriously," said 1."Thoro isn't anything moro serious to

ins," said Jacob, and I could not answerhim. I got my paper and Btarted homo.Ru was leaving tho building at tho sametimo, and wo walked a few squares to-gether.

"Havo you nny frlonda in Now Yorkyetf" I asked. Jacob had novor confidedany of tho fuots of his daily Hfo to mo.

" I havo Bomo relatives hero," ho said."They aro rloh peoplo, though, mothortells ino. glio hasn't heard from them In20 years. X may go to see them somo dny,but not so long as I'") only an elovatorboy."

"Farhnps if you saw then) they couldbelp you to bo BO ino thing bottor, thoughthero la no dis^raco In any kind of honestlabor," I hastened to add.

"If I can help myself, sir," BnUJ Jacob," I think I would rather do It."

I did not bollovo thnt thoro was nnycant about Jacob. I rathor liked his dec-laration of indapendonoo, nnd on tho iin-pulso of tho moment I mado him a propo-sition,

"One of niy junior olerks leaves tomor-row. Would you liko tho plftcof"

"It 's very kind of you," said Jaoob"Am I fitted for it?"

"You don't know so much law ns soinoof them perhaps," Ianeworod, "but possi-bly your enthuBlnsm for your work willatono for thut. Places of tho kind usuallypay only in experience, but wo will maketho pay tho samo aa that you aro receivingnow, and perhaps there will bo extra workby which you can earn it."

I left him at tho corner half dreaming,too much absorbed to Bay, " I thank you.''

Jacob served throo years in my oflloe.By that timo he was prepared to pass avery crcdltablo examination for admiBsionto tho bar, 1 hnd reported his progress toJnnet from timo to timo and had receivedher thanks for my consideration, but itwus not on hor account now that I wasencouraging Jacob. Ho earned all thoconsideration ho received. Ho had hadonly two brief vnoatlons to visit his homo.and tho nminimlor of thu time ho had de-voted unroiulttitiRly to study and to thowork which I had given him. Ho coulddo tho work of any two or throo of thodorks in tho oflleo, or In tho building, forthnt mutter. Tho president of a big rail-road with which I had soiiio business fromtimo to timo noted Jacob's energy andcommented on it ono dny.

"Send him to ino whun ho is ready topractice," said ho. **Iwiint suoh n manin my ofllco. In fnct, I want many suohmon."

So it happened that whon Jacob wasready to outer thu profession n position Intho legal department of this railroad, withn good Biliary nnil a fine opportunity forimprovement, was open to him. And soho left ino with regrot, I think, on bothsides.

Tho term of his experience In Now Yorkhftd dono him a world of good. His mentalequipment hnd been lmprovod, of course,but Ills dress aud manner hud Improvedno leas. All of tho bucollo nir had disap-peared. Ho was not extravagant In any-thing. Ho had no money with which tobe oxtnivngnnt, for tho surplus of his lit-tlu wages hnd boon Kent regularly to hismother. Hub hu found that hu could huyclothing' of modern out In Now York quitoas chtuip as ho could puruhn&j tho oldstylo garments of hla boyhood in thu lltthitown from which ha had como, and on-nationally ho found an extra job of work,

whiuh he did in hmirs htolrii from pl.-t-p,which gave him the money in rlntln- hiiu-eelf more buwmiin^ly thim In; hud done a tthe t ime when I itr.it .saw him.

Oddly enough, wo sueined to bo tfoing totho BJimu neigliborlioud. Presently wocame to a big brovvustonu liuusu Jacnbstopped.

In a minuto Janot cumo into tho roomand gave mo hor smiling grouting Thenfiho turned to hor other visitor. It wasevident thut aho did not recognize the fncoor tho figure. Both had changed a greatdeal, nnd sho had scon thorn but oncu.

Jacob hesitated for n minute. I did notoffer to help him out of his ditlluulty fur-ther than to Bay, "This is Miss JanetGray."

" I have a lettor from my mothor forMrs. Gray," eald Jacob. "'I am yourcousin, Jacob Thomson."

Janet took tho lettor and stood lrroso-lqte for a moment. Sho knew tho namo,and the ussocintloa -of |ta owner with mooponod tho way to susploton. ''You'renot Mr. Hamilton's Jacob Thomson?" sheeuid.

"That is Cousin Jacob's fault, I amBurn," said Janet "Why did you notcome to goo us before?"

"Because I didn't know," Raid Jacob;"because my philosophy WHS at fuult, Ithink. I was too proud to hunt up myrloh relatives until I was Indopundtmt. ofthem, nnd now I find thut I hnvo beendepondont on their kindness all thu timo."
